The Playground Theory of Learning
Posted: 27 Feb 08 11:07 AM

In this article Shelly Loewen outlines the power of the playground in terms of learning.

"The playground is truly a microcosm of the human learning process. With further exploration, a learning theory began to take form: We (people) learn similarly to the way we play and our learning process is a dynamic combination of our character (cognitive & affective) and sensory (psychomotor) learning style values."
